Big Plans: Graduate School of Social Work
People of all ages rely on professional social workers. Social workers address problems and issues that deeply affect people in our communities: homelessness, addictions, mental illness, child abuse and neglect, unemployment, disability, illness, poverty, aging, isolation, discrimination and oppression, and more.
Social workers make a difference in people's lives. And PSU's nationally ranked School of Social Work is making sure social workers are there when you need them.
Social Work Building Fund
Build the future of the School by investing in a new, state of the art facility to support social work education. Social Work will be the sixth floor of this new building, already under construction and set to open in December 2009. Your gift will help complete construction and make sure the space is ready for students in January 2010. Read more in our newsletter.
Dean's Fund for Social Work Excellence
Support the next generation of social work professionals with your contribution. This fund is supported by alumni, businesses and community members. Dollars raised through the Fund for Social Work Excellence go directly to where the need is greatest.
McCoy Endowed Graduate Scholarship
Recipients of the McCoy Graduate Scholarship embody the late Gladys and Bill McCoy's values--service, justice, equality and diversity--and are putting these values to work in their own communities. Your friendship and support are making it possible for promising students from diverse backgrounds to realize their dreams of helping their communities build a better future.
Gerald A. Frey Endowed Scholarship
Your gift in memory of a distinguished faculty member will benefit scholarship recipients, their families, and the thousands of people whose lives they will touch throughout their careers.
Charles and Joan Shireman Endowed Scholarship
This endowed scholarship, started by two of the School's beloved professors, supports Masters or Doctoral students interested in a career in public child welfare or juvenile justice.
Special Social Work Scholarship Fund
Gifts to this fund support students who have immediate financial concerns that impact their ability to stay in school and complete their programs. These flexible scholarship funds allow us to be responsive to our students' needs.
